stefan and leader I have received many
grand receptions" remarked MIR. Gilmore
recently, "but let me say that the appre-
| citation of the ST. Louis public, as evlnced
| by it's applause and action, touches my

aged respectively eight and six years,
were playing a few days ago on the porch
of their residence, and Jimmy was sup
posed to be white scout rescuing a fair
maiden from the disreputable red man.

pointed it at his little sister and fired. He
did not think it was dangerous, but it was
discharged, and the bullet from the little
cartridge entered his sisters heart and
killed her instantly. The father of the
two children had just started out to the
hospital with another child who had fallen
and cut it's wrist on a piece of glass, and
he received the news of his little daugh-
ter's death as he reached the hospital.
The children's mother died only a few
weeks ago.

the head having just located and opened
an immense branch house i'll st. Louis. Mr..

Buchanan County, outside of the City of
st. Joseph, was recently presented to the
County Court asking that an order for
special election be made on the Local
